Hirosan, I like the expression on her face.
The tones are very soft - nice shot.

Thanks, Chris.
I never asked her anything for this
photoshooting, simply asked her to have a
seat in a comfortable chair.
It turned out quite acceptable even though
this is taken at ISO800.
I would rather raise ISO settings than use
flash, relying on natural lightings.
After all, it's all about the a nice person
and a camera that I use!
By the way, a camera w/ wide-angled lens
takes very interesting hotel photos!

Cool Hirosan & arigato. I actually am
looking into a wide angle lense...I've got
much to learn to take some decent Hotel
images! =)

Wide angle lens is quite handy for landscapes
and building photos. I get very interesting
yet impressive results from it. On the other
hand, it is hard to get a decent images when
doing portraits.
I rarely get chances to stay at fancy (I
mean, gorgeous and expensive) hotels, so this
was the special occasion for a photoshoot!

Hello lc1fz1,
Thanks for your comment!
Since GR Digital has a relatively deep
Depth of Field so the model has covered all
the weakness of the camera and my technique,
indeed!

Nice portrait. The low noise at 800 is quite
impressive for a compact. My Canon Powershot
A540 has a lot more noise than that.

Thanks!
We have a couple of choices when we have no
tripod or nothing to support the camera: low
ISO and expect some blurry photos, or use
higher ISO to get the decent photo but more
noise and degraded colour and sharpness, and
this camera sure has tuned differently than
other cameras that can take photos at ISO 800
or higher.
Some complain GRD has more noise, but in my
opinion, it is more usable than other digital
camera manufacturars and leaves more colours
and sharpness than FinePixes.
But for a compact camera with small CCD, it
sure does a fair job and I am quite happy
with it.

over a long period of time. landscapes no

usually forget it soon. so i am going to
remember this photo for a long time....and

Thank you for your time to take a look at
this photo!
Actually, your comment made me very happy
and I was delighted to hear someone feels
like the way my friend and I did, too!
She suddenly asked to take a photo of
herself as she put a flower on her hair, and
GRD comes with wide angle lens and I had the
conversion lens attached so I had to frame
her in the middle.
My friend as well as I was happy with the
photo and and this photo became her favourite
one, too!

Well, sometimes ISO800 is not too bad...
I just think it is rare because it is rare
for me to get such a result!
GR Digital comes with fairly fast lens in
its class, I am happy I got this photo with
her...

Well this wonderful portrait is still in
Explore, it comes up as #221 with the
Greasemonkey script that I use in Firefox!

Since most photos of mine do not stay in
Explore even after a brief showup, sometimes
old ones come up then drop time to time...
It seems that this one stays in explore for
long time probably because not many people
even try to shoot portrait photo with GR
Digital with 21mm wide angle lens!
Certain photos come up again when I am
posting the same series (like GR Digital,
FinePix, MacBook, travel, gadgets and so
on...)
But I still don't know why my gorillapod
head photo is in explore :(
Heard about greasemonkey, but it also
carries some security risks, as many online
publications pointed out :/

Okay - I'll be the guy to say the obvious -
she's gorgeous and her smile is what makes
it.

It is obvious indeed, but true. This is the
only photo approved by herself.
It was just about right timing and right
situation, she did not hide from my camera
that time so it was the perfect moment for
her portrait!
If I stop taking silly candid photos but
taking photos by seriously facing to the
subject, I might do okay...

I was surfing...
Maybe this is what we do (you especially)
but digitally:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lomography
The following are the company's 10 Rules of
Lomography:
1. Take your LOMO everywhere you go and
whenever you go.
2. Use it any time - day or night.
3. Lomography is not an interference in
your life, but a part of it.
4. Shoot from the hip.
5. Approach the objects of your
lomographic desire as close as possible.
6. Don't think.
7. Be fast.
8. You don't have to know beforehand
what you've captured on film.
9. You don't have to know afterwards,
either.
10. Don't worry about the rules.

Pretty much true! Not many cameras that
allow to do this, right?
Kodak V705, GR Digital and FinePix Z are
the good ones for this practice... Thanks for
reminding me of this :)
> Lumixa
Same here. That's why I love my GR Digital
more than GX100 :)

As many others classify GX100 a
professional compact camera, it is for
carefully framing and adjusting the settings
and shoot whereas GRD is a quick weapon that
allows to shoot quick. GX100 comes with zoom
and better LCD screen and EVF, and wider lens
whereas GRD has the GR lens, whch does give
minimal distortion and great macro capability
that not many lenses for SLRs offer.
I personally love GRD: It just suits my
photography needs and I even thought getting
rid of GX100, but I learned that GX100 allows
to do more and it would be a good camera to
learn about photography so I am keeping both
cameras.
There are many other high-end compacts like
PowerShot G7 (and G9 has announced recently)
and P5000 from Nikon, but what makes GX100
unique is the wide angle lens and GRD unique
is GR lens!
